The emotional peak of the film is not Neteyam’s death scene.

The emotional peak is where his parents see him again thru the spirited tree at the very 

end.

That part is where most of the audience lose it.

100% true.

Was the first Wandering Earth any good? Was always curious about that one.

Better than 90% of Hollywood blockbusters and 100% of last 3 to 4 years of Marvel movies.

I think James Cameron lost his power of making audience burst into tears in Avatar 2

Jake Sully’s son dead in Avatar :The Way of Water make me no crying and not even drop a single tear,but when I saw Arnold dead in Terminator 2,and Jack dead in Titanic,I really sad and depression for a real long time…I remeber when I first saw Titanic as a kid ,I even want Titanic become  a sci-fi movie and let Jack back to life in Titanic 2:The Return of Jack….That’s the fool thinking in my childhood but that’s speaking cameron’s power of emotion buliding…but I saw his power lost in Avatar 2

If Jake Sully really dead in Avatar 3,I really hope he can do same thing like he used to do…

 

 

Read the comments!!! You dont make 3 of the 4 highest grossing movies of all time when you lost your power.

 

 

I watched the movie for the 4th time, and this scene still hits like a f***** truck. I´m a grown man and avatar 2 and coco were the only movies which brought me to tears.

very cool

[upriser7]

Excellent hold for A2. As expected, Sunday drop was higher due to Championship games but the Saturday jump was excellent. Overall just a 20% drop this weekend

 

Friday - 3.61M (+150% jump)

Saturday - 7.92M (+119% jump)

Sunday - 4.43M (-44% drop)

Studios so far being very, uh, optimistic with their projected Sunday holds: everything posted so far (Infinity Pool and below) is -33% or better, except House Party. Maybe there's some counter-programming effect for the specialty market, but more likely they aren't factoring in the later NFL schedule and using what was previously the off week between Championship games and Super Bowl as their guide. Expecting all of these numbers so far to come down with actuals

 

 

 

Yep, they pretty much all went to high (well except two)

 

Title = Est / Act

Avatar = -45% / -43%

Puss = -36% / -40%

M3G = -45% / -50%

Otto = -49% / -54%

Missing = -48% / -50%

Infinity = -27% / -41%

Some of these may have even been updated estimates this morning

 

Meanwhile, Pathaan had a -25% Sun, and Left Behind just a -6%

I think Pathaan having much lighter drop than others makes sense..it's overindexing in Canada like crazy (28% of OD gross was from  Canada). NFL impact would be significantly lower in Canada than US. Also, Pathaan's audience is mainly Indian origin people and your average Indian American is less likely to watch football than your average American.

[kayumanggi]

Almost $16M! Where do you think this lands next weekend?

[Borobudur]

I think EEAAO and Whale will fall below $1m too in actual. So there are just gonna 12 $1m grosser.

unless Avatar2 is losing large number of PLFs in upcoming weekend, I think it will be higher than that...there will no football next weekend, so the Sunday drop should be much better. 

[GOGODanca]

It's losing Dolby to the M Night movie but it should recover some imax screens from pathan I think
